An increasing number of
American executives are
giving serious thought to
making the "Israel business
connection." They see Israel
as the gateway to Europe,
the Mideast and Africa.
More than 150 American
companies are presently
operating in Israel. They
find that they can make a
high return on their in-
vestment.
Israel is actively seeking
and encouraging American
investment. The business
climate for new ventures is
encouraging. There is a
commitment to less gov-
ernment in business and a
chance for the free
enterprise system to ex-
pand. Efforts are being
made to overhaul and
streamline the investment
process.
The Israel government
encourages development
of projects which will re-
sult in exports or which
will provide import sub-
stitution. It also
encourages development
of science-based indus-
tries by providing desig-
nated projects with di-
rect financial benefits,
research support, and
aid in establishing indus-
trial parks.

Israel provides a very lib-
eral system of investment
incentives and tax rebates.
Companies operating in Is-
rael can get cash loans and
grants up to 70 percent from
the Israeli government
when a substantial part of
their products go into ex-
port.
are
investors
U.S.
allowed to use Israel Bond
with certain maturities as a
source for a local invest-
ment and to account those
bonds at full value. There
are no limitations as to the
amount of such invest-
ments.
Having a plant in Israel
offers unique opportunities
to American companies to
sell to European buyers. Is-
rael's free trade agreement
with the European Eco-
nomic Community has
abolished tariffs on indus-
trial goods shipped from Is-
rael to nine European
Common Market countries.
This means a duty-free
competitive edge in a giant
260 million people market
for products made in Israel.
On Jan. 1, 1976, Israel
became eligible to sell
more than 2,700
categories of goods to the
United States, duty free,
under the U.S.
Generalized System of
Preferences. This pro-
vides an opportunity for
American companies to
manufacture products in
Israel to be shipped to the
United'States duty free.
Israel's total population
was 3.65 million at the end
of 1977. The labor force,
about 1.2 million, has a high
percentage of technically
and academically trained
people. The literacy rate is
over 90 percent.
Wages are approximately
half the U.S. scale and Is-
rael's labor cost per unit of
industrial output is steadily
decreasing in comparison to
those of the world's six
largest industrial nations.
Most Israeli engineers and
technicians are familiar
with the state of the art of
American technology.
Many have had advanced
training in the United
States.
Israel recently passed a
law which allows American
companies, operating
industrial plants in Israel,
to offset the cost of devalua-

country that has devised a
system of this type offering
these advantages.
Other ways American
firms can help the Israeli
economy is by importing
Israeli products, export-
ing their own products to
Israel, subcontract the
manufacture of products
in Israel, license U.S.

manufacturer or pur-

Peace Talks
Moshe Dayan: "Israel
will bring the Israeli gov-
ernment peace plan and
Egypt will bring her peace
plan and we shall discuss
them.
"It is clear to us today
from the talks with
President Sadat that took
place in Vienna that Egypt
does not want a seperate
peace with Israel. And if
they want a discussion on a
declaration of principles, I
shall oppose that."
